II.Davles' opening Monday and Tuesday.DB.EADED mPHTHEKIA.Now German Hinni-cly feulil to llo. nn AlmostI'crliiln Curt * .A representative of the New York Boardof Health has Just returned from a tripabroad , made for the purpose of Investigating a new German remedy that Is said tobe almost a certain cure for diphtheria , saysHarper's Weekly. His report Is so enthusiastic that our authorities are to be askedto establish a laboratory for developmentof the remedy here. The outcome will beawaited with anxious Interest by every onewho fully understands how much Is at stake.Diphtheria Is the moat malignant membercf a Email group of contagious diseases ( theother members being scarlet fever , measlesand whooping cough ) whose virulence Is Ina measure masked by their very familiarity.These diseases are never altogether absentfrom centers of population. Year by year theycause thousands of deaths , yet their presenceexcites little popular comment. They areresponsible for the death of every sixthchild under 5 yeais of age and every twelfthperson of any age who dies In New York City.In the decade 1S82-1S91 this quartet of diseases claimed 36,042 victims In that city.During the name period thobc dreaded diseases , smallpox , typhus fever and cholera ,killed but GG3. Two years ago there \vasmuch ado because typhus fever seemed tohave gained a foothold in the city. Thatmuch-heralded disease caused forty deaths ;diphtheria , unheralded , cause.l 1,436. Lastyear there was no little apprehension Insome quarters because smallpox was mildlyepidemic In the city , cla'mlng a few victimswho by their folly or Ignorance had InvitedIt. Yet the smullpcx , during the decade1SS3-1S92 , caused only 333 deaths In thecity ; diphtheria caused 15,030. Thanks tosanitary science , typhus may be held t bay.Thanks to Jenner , the terrors of smallpoxnro only traditional. But the terrors ofdiphtheria are still real and ever-present.For so.ne years , however , medical sciencehas looked forward hopefully to the conquestof diphtheria. Ten years ago the bacillusthat causes the disease was discovered. Thebacilli lodged In the throat , as a rule produce ptomaines or other toxlnes , that enterthe circulation and poison the system. Thesetoxlnes may be developed In media other thanthe human body , and "attenuated" by cultivation. Experiments of some years' standingprove that attenuated virus , Injected Intothe circulation of animals In varyingstrengths , produces diphtheria of varyingdegrees of virulence , and that such virusmay even cure diphtheria previously established , It remained to make the applicationto the human subject. Apparently this hasnow been done , and If the reports arc to becrsdltcd , diphtheria will soon take Us placebeside smallpox and hydrophobia behind thevlctnrlous chariot of prjventatlve medicine.Meantime , a word of caution may not beamiss. In their laudable anxiety to benefitthe race , workers In tilts , as In other fields ,sometimes let thotr Imagination outstep theiractual achievements. It was sea , few yearsago , when the public was led to believe thata sure cure for tuberculosis had been discovered , whereas. In reality , only an Important , not a llnnl , step toward such a (11 E-covcry had been made. The originator ofthe new diphtheria remedy Is the same Dr. *Koch who developed tuberculin. Dr.Koch Is a scientist of scientists. Tuberculinwas a disappointment , not because Its discoverer claimed too much for It , but because his followers .claimed more than themsster thought of < 'fclalmlng.lt Is to be ho.-cdthat the same mistake will not be repeatedwith the present remedy. Let enthusiasticfollower * make sure thut they are keepingstep with the originator of the remedy , andthat they are not making : us expecttoo much of It at first. There can beno question that the work of Dr. Kochand others with the toxlnes of germdiseases Is along- right lines. In th ? end Usresults arc sure. But we must be patientwith tentative efforts. Should the diphtheriaremedy do but half what Is hoped for It , Itsvolus wll | still be Inestimable. Even fallingshort of this , If It has any potency whatever.Itwill be , like tuberculin , an Inspiring tokenof the time to come when preventatlvo medicine will ccpo successfully with every contagious disease , vanquishing each one In turnby means of preventatlvo..inoculatlonn , as Ithas already vanquished smallpox. But thepublic cannot be- expected to realize this , andthe remedy which accomplishes less than Ispromised will bo accounted a failure. It Isfar better that little should be promised Ifthere Is the slightest question as to whatcan be performed. In view of the lesson InEelf-restralnt that nas taught the enthusiasts by tuberculin , however , we are JustifiedIn hoping that nothing has been claimed forthe diphtheria remedy that a trial of theremedy Itself will not Immediately Justify.In that event the origination of this remedywill easily take rank among the most 1m-vortont discoveries of this generation ,Court Culling * .With the exception of Judges Hopewelland Walton , all of the members of the district bench were In their accustomed placesyesterday , and they spent the time solely Inthe interest o ( the attorneys , calling defaults , entering motions and passing uponcxparte matters and In a general waycleaning up the delayed business that hadaccumulated from the lajt term of court.Judge Keysor returned from bis trip toWashington county , wherehe has been holdIng -Ing the regular fall term , and at once tookup the work upon , his docket , dlspoilng ofseveral unimportant matters.In Judge Scott's court the city flumpcase , with all cf the attending Issues , was.brought up for consideration , but owing tothe absence of Attorney Patrick , who rep-e-scnts the garbage hauleri , the case was continued until one week from Monday , inthe meantime the Board of Health will seeto It that the dumping grounds at the toolof Poppleton avenue nro kept In a. good condition.BOSTON STORE DRESS GOODSGrand OpcnlngiBBHe Ttoneaods of Die-gintNewiEiQlStylo Dross Goods.SHOWN FOR TIIEFIRST TIME IN OVAH/V /At Frlcci Low Ilnonirh , to PuzElo All OtherDealer * and 1'rofliiff the Utter 1'utll-Ity at Anyr.Attempt to KifunlDibia Bnrcmns lUBcxrhoro.40-Inch heavy mixed suitings In darkgrounds , with beautiful blendlngs , worth 39ca yard , go at lie.42-Inch , two-toned new satin bcrbore , Innavy blue , dark green and brown , with nowblending combinations , worth $1.00 a yard ,go at G'Jc.On our front bargain square 200 pieces ofnow Imported dress goods , In all wool granite cloth , all wool mixed colorings hop sackings , all wool da beiges and all colors Incashmeres ) , including black , many of thesegoods worth up to 7Bc a yard , go on ourfront bargain square at 25c.On our second bargain square 1-yardswide all wool cloth for capes , tailor madesuits and smalt boys' wear , In black and allcolors , worth $1.00 $ a yard , go at 49c.BLACK GOODS.CO pieces of all wool Imported 40-Inch blackhonrleUns , worth 7Sc a yard , so on sale forMonday only at fJOc.1-yards wide finest Imported Frenchserge , never sold for less than $1.25 a yard ,goes In this sale at 75c.10 pieces gloria silk , 1 % yards wide , puresilk and wool , worth $1.75 a yard , go at OSc.SO Imported pure silk and wool dress patterns , handsome combinations.

The Introduction of theordinance has aroused considerable InterestIn the question , however , and some figuringhas been done with a view to ascertalnlnRthe probable expense of construction of sucha plant as would be necessary to suit therequirements of the city.According to the figures of City ElectricianSchurlg.the amount proposed to be votedwould bo Insutnftltrlt ! for the purpose and hoIs emphatlcallyviin ) favor of delaying anyaffirmative nctlonuntll ; the fate of the canalIs settled. If Hid 'canal should become nreality the electric current would bo available with butt 1(116 ( expense beyond tlmtconnected with > . llo- placing of wires .indpoles , and the 'expansive steam plant tintwould have to bo-'Constrncted If the matterwas taken up noivvould be altogetlrr unnecessary.The Hteam planttcauld net to put n for I sithan $75,000 , as the very best compoundcondensing or triple expansion engines wouldbj required to furnlih ths2 000-horse powernecessary to run' the Immense dynamos.But the line construction represents themost cxpenslve' > feature of the prosp.ctlveplant. At the ( present time there arc , notfftr from ,375miles , tot electric light wltlng| n the city. Alii sorts of Wire Is used , running - " -ning from 00 to''No. S , but No. I Is the slz *generallyi used. This wire costs $240 permile , and , allowing nn additional 5 per centfor slack , makes the cost of the wire $250per mile , or $08,750 for the entire plant. Tothis must be udded the cost ot placing It onthe poles , which Is about $45 per mile , or$12,375.The poles also constitute a heavy Item ofexpense. It Is estimated that there are-about1,700 poles In the- city that are used exclusively for electric light wires. Most otthese are fifty-foot poles , which cost $7.C'J 'each , but In many cases sixty and seventy-foot poles are necessary and these run upas lilgh as $20. The hauling and setting ofthe poles Is nt least $ G each and In coniccabes , where there Is a tall polo to be seton a downtown corner , It Is nearly twlcathat sum. Taking the minimum estimateIn each case the total cost of each pole afterIt is placed In position Is $13.50 , whlchymultiplied by 1,700 , gives $22,950. (It thus appears that the total cost of constructing the line Is $103,075 , exclusive of thecostly steam plant , dynamos , purchase ofsite and construction cf building. Upon thisshowing the $200,000 named In the ordlnancawould be wholly Inadequate for the projectand It Is the general sentiment that tlu >matter should bo suffered to drop until theresult of the vote on the canal proposition isassured ,The construction of the canal as contemplated would practically cut the cost of theelectric light plant In two , Mr. Schurlg saysthat the current by which the power wastransmitted from the penstocks would constitute an alternating current which couldbe directly utilized In furnishing electriclight. Consequently neither the engines ,boilers nor dynamos would be required andmuch of the complicated and expensive electrical machinery would bo dispensed with.The only machinery , required would bo theconverters and a switch-board at the power <house , which could be located at some pointIn the central part of the city , thus simplifying the circuits to a great extent and effecting a material saving In power.Another valuable consideration Is Indicated , which consists In the fact that thewires entering buildings need not bocharged with the present high potential current , thus doing away with a great deal ofthe danger of conflagration Each arc lightrequires a power of about fifty volts and bymeans of the converters the wires could becharged with Just the current required forthe number of lights In the building. Incase the original alternating current was toostrong It could bo reduced and then Increased whenever it was necessary or desirable by the converter system. It la believed that the entire cost of the plant withthe power from the canal would be lessthan $150,000.TJIK I.ItepnbUcuti Government KxprctlngMttlo Opposition nt the rolls ,SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 22.

The coming election , to bo helds October 29 , Is creating considerable talk. From present Indicationsthere will bo llttlt opposition to govern-ii.cn t candidates. Royalist nominations havenot yet been made ; though Paul Neumann ,confidential adviser of the ex-queen , hasbeen freely spokeir of as a candidate forsenator. One of the clauses ot the newconstitution is to the effect that all government officials who have not taken the oathof allegiance to' 'the ' republic by the 1st ofSeptember wllll.ba discharged. This rulewill be carried out even to the exclusion cfwcmen school teachers , a few of whom wouldnot give up their allegiance to Lllluokalanl.A majority of the native office holders havetaken the required oath , however , and slant )pledged 4o support the present government ,One American , one English and threeGerman men-of-war have teen In Honolulu'sharbor for the past week.
